ART+DESIGN

Before millennials starting painting everything in their homes gray, they were first somehow identified mainly with the color pink. Artist Mike Stasny pays homage to this generational color swatch in Millennial Pink, a massive inflatable sculpture making a second appearance in Woodruff Park downtown. The 30-foot sculpture will be presented daily (not overnight) from Wednesdays to Saturdays, starting next Wednesday through September 21. Free.

Wednesday, August 28 and ongoing.

THEATER

Suspicion, money, a torrid affair — Dial M for Murder has everything a thriller needs to keep you guessing. And if you think you already know the play, you don’t. Jeffrey Hatcher of Columbo fame has adapted the production from the play that inspired the classic Hitchcock film and is now presenting it in a new, modern way. Under the auspices of Woodstock Arts, the play is now showing and runs through September 1. Tickets: $19 and up.

Ongoing.

DANCE

Over the course of last July, two nationally regarded choreographers took part in the Eleo Pomare–Glenn Conner Choreographic Residency at Kennesaw State University. Christian Denice and Tristian Griffin worked with students and professional dancers in the field to make new dance works presented now to the public. Under the combined moniker Double Exposure, Denice draws inspiration from wrestling matches and Griffin looks to “community, ancestors and family” to develop their respective works. Double Exposure will premiere at KSU this Friday and Saturday on the Marietta campus. Tickets: $22.50.

Friday and Saturday.

MUSIC

Sam Middleton — whose artworks are currently on view at Hammonds House Museum — found inspiration in the jazz he was surrounded by both in America and in Europe. Flipping the script, Hammonds House presents HHM Porch Party, in which DJ Salah Ananse will spin music in turn inspired by Middleton’s collage works this Friday. The museum promises a “rhythmic night of collective vibes.” Tickets: $10-$15.

Friday only

FILM+TV

We covered the BronzeLens Film Festival here. This year, the 15th annual edition is presented in person at the Tara Atlanta through Sunday, August 25 and online from Monday August 26 through September 4. The nonprofit behind BronzeLens is “dedicated to bringing national and worldwide attention to Atlanta as a center for film and film production for people of color.” And certainly Atlanta’s film world has become a worldwide force in recent years. Official film selections include dozens of independent narrative and documentary films by filmmakers of color. Consult website for ticket prices.

Through Monday.
